Aloha Folks,
I'm a totally disabled vet, ('73-'78....yep/over there/11bravo), my right leg has had three total knee replacements that all failed. The last one about 9 years ago has left me unable to walk more than a few feet, and the pain is such that I require apprx 60mgs of pain meds daily.....and that's with walking just a few yards a day. The more movement, the more meds, & I had my share and probably yours too back in the 70's & '80s! ;-)

So those days are history. I was also diagnosed with emphysema/COPD from the funny smelling rain that used to come down after the Hueys went over. So its hard to do much w/out problems.

Man, I need to lose 50-60lbs so I can stay around long enough to keep my wife company. Haven't drank in about 25 years, and obviously dont smoke. If there's any vets out there or someone who can relate to my fun, it'd be good to hear from you.
Mahalo
